    working hard & improving

    Just wanted to brag on how proud I am of my DD. She has really come a long way in a season which she has struggled. She is competing L5 and missed two of her 5 meets due to injury & illness. She qualified for states by the skin of her teeth @ her last meet before states. She needed a 32AA &...

    DD had her high bar kip for months. Now that her first L5 meet is this weekend it is MIA. I think it may be her timing is off, not sure.

    Coaches hypermobility & form

    I was wondering if hypermobility affects form. Is it harder for a child that is hypermobile to be tight, have straight legs than a child who is not? I am asking because it seems that the girls I see struggle more with tightness have some level of hypermobility. Just coincidence in what I...
